Li Yi didn't know that he had become a treasure in some people's hearts, and he was counting the things he bought this time down the mountain.
In addition to grain, meat and seeds of some common vegetables, he also bought a lot of condiments used in cooking.
I thought that the ancients should be far inferior to modern people in this respect, but what Li Yi didn't expect was that there were more condiments in this era than he had seen in modern times. He was so dazzled by the sight that he simply bought everything Some.
I bought a lot of things, spent more than half of the ten taels of silver, and there were about three taels left. Li Yi didn't spend it right away, leaving some money for emergencies.
During breakfast, Liu Ruyi hadn't come back yet. When Li Yi asked Xiaohuan, the reply he got was that the young lady often did this, and the little maid was used to it.
For Liu Ruyi, Li Yi was not worried at all. He was truly a hero among heroes who could shatter a solid wooden table with one palm, and he would not encounter any danger under normal circumstances.
It's just that it's not a good habit to disappear without a sound. Li Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He took out the hawthorns he bought yesterday and walked into the kitchen.
Xiaohuan was washing the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. When she saw Li Yi walking in, she poured all the icing left over from the last Qiqiao festival into the pot, added a little water, and then cooked it slowly over low heat. .
Tell the little maid to watch the fire and not to burn the syrup. After cleaning the hawthorns, Li Yi carefully cut half of them with a knife, took out the seeds inside, and polished the bamboo sticks that had been prepared, and put them aside for later use. .
The little maid was sitting in front of the stove, but her big eyes glanced to this side from time to time.
"My uncle seems to be making something delicious again..."
Thinking this way in her heart, the little maid began to look forward to the delicious food that she was about to eat.
What Li Yi plans to make today is candied haws. There is no candied haws in this world, but in his original world, this is one of the most popular snacks for thousands of years.
Although the types of candied haws have changed a lot since modern times, whether it is from the careful selection of raw materials, exquisite packaging, or the substitution of other fruits, the taste of candied haws has been constantly refurbished, but there is only one kind of sour The feeling of sweetness and fragrance on the lips and teeth can never be replaced.
When Li Yi was a child in his hometown in the countryside, what he looked forward to seeing the most was the hawker who wandered around the villages carrying a wooden stick with a swollen top filled with candied haws. Can lick for a long time.
Later, when I grew up, I didn't eat it again. When I came to this world, I missed the familiar taste.
When this kind of memory that belongs to him alone appears in this world, he will also get some comfort in his heart.
Not long after, when the sugar syrup in the pot was almost boiled, Li Yi put the hawthorn fruits one by one on the bamboo skewers, rolled them in the pot a few times, and the surface of the fruits was covered with a layer of crystal clear sugar coating. After taking it out of the pot, the syrup condensed quickly, and the world's first bunch of candied haws came out of the oven.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Yi and Xiaohuan squatted at the door, each holding two bunches of candied haws in their hands, and took a bite. After the crisp sound, there was a sweet and sour feeling in their mouths.
It was the first time for the little maid to eat candied haws. Instead of taking one bite like Li Yi, she first stretched out her small tongue to lick the sugar coating on the outside. Even her heart was sweet, and her eyes were bent into beautiful crescent moons.
This scene is obviously very tempting. After Li Yi glanced at it, he didn't dare to watch it anymore. The young girl's unintentional actions can make people almost unable to control it. Got it
Faced with the three beauties at home all day long, and still able to keep her virginity, Li Yi felt that even if Liu Xiahui was reborn, it would be nothing more than that...
"What is this?"
After eating the two candied haws in threes and fives, a voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and saw Liu Ruyi walking over with a candied haws in his hand. The remaining half had obviously been bitten by her.
"Oh, it's used to poison mice. There's arsenic added to the icing sugar, so it's absolutely inedible." Li Yi said with a straight face, brushing off the trace of sugar left at the corner of Liu Ruyi's mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruyi's complexion suddenly changed, and her pretty face immediately turned pale.
"Grandpa, one of the candied haws is missing..." At this moment, the little maid took two bunches of candied haws again, walked over with some doubts and said.
Liu Ruyi turned her head and saw what Xiaohuan was holding in her hand, and there was still a trace of sugar coating on the corner of her mouth. When she looked back at Li Yi, her pretty face turned cold, and one hand had already touched the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows sharply. He was used to teasing Xiaohuan, but he didn't realize that it was the witch Liu Ruyi just now. He stood up abruptly and strode towards the door.
"I remembered, I have to go to school today..."
The little maid was stunned for a moment, and said, "Master, have you forgotten, the school is on holiday today, so you don't need to go..."
"Cough, cough, Xiaohuan, you remember wrong..." Li Yi coughed twice, but his steps became faster. The joke he made just now obviously scared Liu Ruyi. The body can't stand it.
boom!
Li Yi, who buried his head and fled the scene in a hurry, bumped into someone, softly, and smelled a familiar fragrance in his nose.
Liu Ruyi looked up at her, frowned and said, "Why is Mr. Xiang in such a hurry?"
Li Yi looked up, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw blood oozing from the place where he hit her cuff just now, and he couldn't help being taken aback.
Wasn't it just a bump, is it that serious
Then, realizing something, he hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you injured?"
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The little maid hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, asking in panic.
Liu Ruyi's figure followed closely behind her. Seeing her standing there, there was nothing serious about her, she felt relieved and asked, "Are you all right?"
Liu Ruyi withdrew her hand without showing any trace, smiled lightly, and said, "A little injury, it's fine."
He reached out and handed a small bag of things to Xiaohuan, saying, "Here is some food, put it in the kitchen."
"There's so much blood, it's okay!" Li Yi frowned, threw the small bag of food aside, grabbed Liu Ruyi's hand again, and strode into the room.
"Xiaohuan, go and boil some water, and bring that little box from my room by the way." Soon a voice came from inside the room.
The little maid nodded sharply, and trotted to the kitchen to boil water.
Being dragged into the room by Li Yi like this, Liu Ruyi opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.
Inside the house, he took Liu Ruyi's arm and untied the cloth strips she had wrapped up casually. Seeing that there was a wound more than two inches long that was still oozing blood, Li Yi couldn't help but gasped.
"How did it hurt?"
Liu Ruyi at the side, after seeing the wound, a cold light flashed involuntarily in her beautiful eyes.
